Fallon describes Joni's job-sharing down to a tee, that slight resentment of the other person and any work they didn't manage to get to. She also does a brilliant job with the online dating world. More than anything though, I think I just found Joni and her life really relatable, and I enjoyed all the details of her life, her flat, her job and her love of the gym. I was sad to leave her behind and I feel like I got to know her really well. Witty, funny, beautifully written and dotted with life's truths like sprinkles on a birthday cake." - Cathy Kelly Jane Fallon's Just Got Real is one of those rare novels that brings both a tear to your eye and a chill to your heart. De schrijfstijl blijft wel echt fantastisch, dus als Jane weer een nieuw boek uitbrengt, ga ik die gewoon weer enthousiast lezen! Her best yet! Ingenious and entertaining as ever but this book has a lot of WARMTH and HEART'' MARIAN KEYES

Romance: This book's romance is simple, clean, and cute. Kaden and AJ end up dating (even though they have their differences) and are super sweet and all that. On the other hand, Kate's "boyfriend", Alex ends up being really annoying. He does some bad things to embarrass Kate, and lets just say they don't have a great relationship. Ingenious. Her eye for detail, compressed emotion and the absurdity that lurks beneath what people say to each other, is unerring. One of our very finest comic novelists * Tortoise Media *

So, what did I think of this book? It read like a DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie, that is)...but, as a fan of the Mouse network, that isn't a bad thing! The story was fun, and the ending was rather touching; AJ made for a likable heroine who overcomes dire circumstances. Overall, I enjoyed this one. As I described above, the plot line and outlook of the story seemed interesting and unique; however, upon reading the story I was not only disappointed, but left wanting way more than the book actually had. It's clear Robertson drew upon her own experiences with "reality" TV to infuse this book with plenty of experiences that only an insider would know. The story has the obligatory teen romance, but it's all clean and it's not gratuitous. It fits in well with the story and all the main characters seem like teens one might meet in their everyday life. Whilst this is a story of three women trying to get revenge on a man who’s been playing them all, it’s also so much deeper than that. I thought it was also such a gorgeous look at loneliness and making friends as an adult, which can feel so daunting. As much as I loved watching them make Ant squirm, I REALLY loved the moments where the women were all together and just having the best time as friends - and I definitely had some warm fuzzies going on by the end! Your writing makes the world a brighter place, [Jane Fallon]. Just Got Real is an absolute joy * JOANNA CANNON *
